Fresh Complexion Express, Pineapple and Cucumber Juice
by Tarla Dalal
Pineapple and Cucumber Juice is a vitamin C and iron rich express to prevent the skin from drying out and to reduce facial lines.
Vitamin C, in conjunction with protein, is necessary for the production of collagen - the glue that holds our skin together and circumvents sags or wrinkles.
It regulates sebaceous (oil producing) glands to keep skin from drying out; helps prevent facial lines and wrinkles. This may explain why people who consume healthy amounts of vitamin C containing foods have a fresh complexion and a healthy state of mind.
Snack into a scrumptious Carrot and Green Peas Sandwich or Rajma and Spinach Wrap along with Pineapple and Cucumber Juice for a beautiful you.
